Coming Up Next Marks Brothers Production

LA Confidential, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Proposition, Memento, Neighbours, Iron Man... Family life, having a toddler, growing up with a special needs sibling, the realities of fame, choosing the right roles... Guy Pearce joins me in the chat cave for a raw and intimate ramble.

Showstopper! The Improvised Musical, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, and The 50 Hour London Improvathon, are just a handful of the shows that Adam Meggido has had a significant hand in. We break down the gigantic world of improvisation, how he got into it, his philosophical beliefs, and all the usual rambly musings.

SketchShe, the sketch comedy trio, have amassed over half a billion views on YouTube, have performed on Ellen, and started a trend of car-lip-sync based sketches. So how did it all begin? Do they know what's going to hit and what will miss? What's it been like riding the crest of the social media revolution? One of SketchShe's creators, actor/director/writer, Shae-Lee Shackleford, joins me in the chat cave this week to pull the curtain back on her career, SketchShe, and the usual philosophical musings.

Documentary director, Lizzie Kempton, joins me for only my second PubCast. While sipping a beer, we discuss her career from Manchester at iTV, through to London and the BBC. She moved her way up the ranks as a reasearcher to a producer, and has now moved into directing. Her films include How To Die: Simon's Choice; Chris Packham: Aspergers and Me; and Manchester Bomb: Our Story. 

From huge hits on social media with misheard lyrics videos, through to having Dean Cain buy her a steak, Bec Hill's career in comedy has ridden the crest of the social media wave. She grew up in Adelaide, had a run in Australia, and is now domiciled in London. Finding her own unique take on things, Bec incorporates arts and crafts into her stand-up routines in something she calls paper-puppetry. You should go find her work on YouTube, Twitter, and where all good viral videos are posted. In the meantime, she joins me for a ramble of epic proportions. 

Alexander McKenzie started painting at 11 years old, and has gone on to be exhibited extensively, with over 20 solo exhibitions in both Australia and the United Kingdom since 1996. He is a five time finalist in the Archibald Prize for portraiture at the Art Gallery of NSW, and a seven time finalist in the Wynne Prize for Landscape painting. Today, he stops by the chat cave for an in depth ramble on what it means to live the life of an artist.
